Fantastic! I wasn't into graphics and stuff when I had my Apple II but knew of Fantavision, Dazzle Draw and Animate (among many others). While I'm sure there are many ways to create animation today, it's certainly a treat to see that older computers and software can still be useful even 20 to 25 years later.

WOW, great film!

I have alot of old fond memories of the Apple II and Fantavision, but had no idea someone could make something like this. BRAVO!

Incredibly expressive... congratulations on such a fantastic and creative world.

Holy crap! I used Fantavision a lot in the mid or late 80s but never made anything even close to this. Wow! Super Impressive. I remember the first time I used Fantavision after loading it. I could hardly believe it. I also liked Deluxe Paint 4 a whole lot. Again, I want to compliment you on the best Fantavision animation I have ever seen.

Wow, truly incredible work. I read your website and saw a LOT of time and effort went into this. Really cool and unique!

It's like Flashimation before there ever was Flash.

Absolutely fantastic! Somehow your work in Fantavision, at 4:28 minutes long, is just the sort of epic animation I always hoped to see on an Apple II had it expanded further along with the natural increase of greater processing power and storage we now see from year to year in as technology advances.

Creativity can be stifled by the way its created and its media, but not only does the theme of the animation speak to me, but the way it was created and the music...shear joy!

Awesome! Fantavision was awesome software!
